There’s just one week left till San Diego Comic-Con returns to blast us in the face with awesome pop culture spectacle, cosplay, and fantastic, expensive goodies. Here’s the very best toys and collectibles at this year’s show that we can’t wait to line up forever for (or, more likely, pay even more for on eBay…

The 2017 San Diego Comic-Con is a little over a week away, which means toymakers are running out of time to hype their convention exclusives. Most should probably just give up now, though, because Hasbro’s latest Comic-Con exclusive reveal is essentially irresistible ‘80s nerd heroin.

Welcome back to Toy Aisle, io9's weekly round up of all things merchandise. This week we’ve got even more San Diego Comic-Con exclusives to drool over, some new Lego from the upcoming Ninjago movie, and the best plastic recreation of Bruce Campbell’s face the world has ever seen. Really!

When you can climb walls and swing between buildings, do you really need a car? In 1974 Marvel’s writers thought Spider-Man did, so they gave him a dune buggy that he could use to sit in New York traffic for hours. As weird as it was, it’s a memorable piece of Marvel history, so Hot Wheels is bringing it back as one…

Welcome back to Toy Aisle, io9's weekly roundup of the fanciest toys that will have you even more upset you’re not able to make it to the San Diego Comic-Con this year. And if you’ve ever lamented not having an Arnold Schwarzenegger figure that looks like he just took the day off to visit Home Depot, you’ll find…

Before the toy line became a runaway hit and an iconic part of the ‘80s, Hasbro’s G.I. Joe playsets weren’t quite as elaborate as an aircraft carrier. One of the earliest and rarest sets, dating back to 1982, that Hasbro is reviving as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive this year, was actually made almost entirely of…

Most of Comic-Con is spent either waiting in line or huddled in crowded rooms, so the chance to see a live reading of an Archer episode aboard a yacht docked just behind the convention center was a welcome diversion. The entire cast of FX’s animated secret agent/drug kingpin/private-detective series was there, with…

It’s a great time for girl (super)power. We’ve finally seen tangible proof that Wonder Woman is starring in her own movie, and Marvel has cast the incredible Brie Larson as its first solo female lead, Captain Marvel.

Disney has announced its first Marvel-themed theme park ride for Disney California Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: BREAKOUT! That wasn’t me exclaiming for joy, the theme park ride literally has all caps and an exclamation point.

It’s the jumpsuit that started it all. We’ve been hearing rumors that Harley Quinn’s classic jester outfit had been made for the Suicide Squad film, but we didn’t know whether they actually used it. Well, B-roll footage released at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday has given us the answer, and it’s a resounding “Hell…

Modern “comic of the dead” Sinatoro isn’t even on shelves yet and already it looks to be heading to the small screen. Filmmakers Chris and Paul Weitz announced at San Diego Comic-Con that they’re teaming up with author Grant Morrison and Universal Television to adapt the comic book for television.

The director of Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Guy Ritchie, has finally revealed a look at his latest movie, the period action epic King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. And it’s pretty much what you’d expect: It’s Guy Ritchie in Medieval Times.

Seriously. Watch this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles short by Vasquez, titled “Don vs. Raph,” which debuted at San Diego Comic-Con. It combines Vasquez’s signature style with the turtles’ own brand of humor, creating a surprisingly awesome six-minute experience that could easily be expanded to a weekly TV series.

As the new Star Warscanon expands beyond the movies, Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath trilogy has been the most important source of information about the era between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. At the Star Wars Publishing presentation at Comic-Con, Wendig hinted about what we should expect from Aftermath:…

Entertainment Weekly has the first shots of two upcoming sets for the Lego Batman movie that’s due to hit theaters next year. Yesterday we got our first look at the movie’s minifig versions of Robin and the Joker, but these sets reveal other characters that will be appearing in the film, plus Batman’s latest ride.

Blitzway has officially revealed its upcoming lineup of sixth-scale Ghostbusters figures based on the cast from the original film, and just like how the characters were trapped in that evil painting at the end of Ghostbusters 2, there’s a good chance these actors have been somehow imprisoned in these impossibly…
